Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 260 Grandma is sick (2)

Zhou Guoqiang sat on the edge of the bed and coaxed his grandma softly for a long time, finally calming her down.

Zhou Xiaoyun looked at his father, who had always been gruff and grumpy, as if he had changed. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Maybe Zhou Guoqiang was not a good-tempered man, but he was really a good father who loved his children and was a filial mother. What a good son!

Before dark, Zhou Guofu and Zhou Fang also arrived, along with Wu Youde.

Zhou Fang and Zhou Guofu discussed with Zhou Guoqiang and Zhou Guofu on the phone that they should pretend nothing serious happened in front of grandma. Although they were anxious in their hearts, they both forced a smile and said something nice.

Grandma was surrounded by several children, with a slight smile on her wrinkled face, and she felt very happy.

 Actually, grandma doesn’t know her physical condition! The abdominal pain is no longer something that only lasts a day or two. It was very mild at first. My grandma didn’t take it to heart. She thought why would she spend the unjust money to go to the hospital for a check-up? For the elderly, who doesn’t have a minor problem? I guess it will be fine after a while. .

Unexpectedly, the pain became more and more frequent and obvious. Grandma kept it secret until the pain became unbearable and Zhou Xiaoyun discovered it. Only then did the sons know about it.

Song Mingli paid the hospitalization fee and came to the ward. She met Zhou Guofu and Zhou Fang and said hello.

 Several adults went to the hospital cafeteria to eat together when it got dark. Zhou Xiaoyun asked Xiaobao and Zhou Zhiyuan to eat with them, but he insisted on staying to accompany his grandma.

 Zhou Fang also refused to go and stayed with Zhou Xiaoyun.

Seeing this situation, Song Mingli was too embarrassed to go to eat, so she asked the three brothers to take the two boys to eat first and then come back with some food.

Grandma waved her hand and said: "Mingli, take Daya to dinner and let Fangfang stay here with me."

 Zhou Fang, who is nearly 40 years old, became "Fangfang" in her grandmother's mouth. It seems that no matter how old she is, she will always be a beloved child in her mother's eyes.

Song Mingli took the reluctant Zhou Xiaoyun to the canteen.

 The three brothers stopped smiling when they left the ward and talked about grandma's condition. The test results won't be available until tomorrow afternoon. No one can say what the problem is right now, but according to the doctor's estimation, it may be serious.

Zhou Guoqiang comforted himself and Zhou Guofu and Zhou Guomin: "Doctors always exaggerate the condition to scare patients and their families. In fact, it is not as serious as he said."

Zhou Guofu and Zhou Guofuo echoed the news, holding the best expectations before the results came out.

No one was in the mood for dinner, so they ate some hastily and brought some back to the ward for grandma and Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang was chatting with her grandma. The atmosphere between mother and daughter was naturally different, and there was no need to hide. Grandma asked uneasily: "Fangfang, now that your brother and the others are gone, we are the only ones here. Please be honest." Tell me, am I seriously ill?"

Of course, my son’s grandma knew this very well. They were all smiling but had serious expressions on their faces. This made grandma feel uneasy and she specially kept her daughter Zhou Fang here to ask questions.

Zhou Fang's heart tightened, but a smile appeared on her face: "Mom, don't think blindly. The doctor said it's nothing serious. Putting you in the hospital will save you traveling back and forth and make it easier to observe. You should feel relieved when the test results come out tomorrow."

Grandma felt relieved when she saw Zhou Fang's natural tone, thinking that her daughter would never hide it from her.

Zhou Fang half-truthfully complained about her grandma: "Mom, it's true that you have this abdominal pain that doesn't last a day or two. Why have you kept hiding it from us? If it wasn't for the severe pain this time, Ya saw it, how long are you going to keep it secret from us? If you don’t feel well, you need to go to the hospital for a checkup!”

Grandma sighed: "I don't want you to worry. Everyone is so busy. I can't bear to worry about an old woman like me!" Besides, which elderly person would fall in love with the hospital? When you get to the hospital, you can find out whether you are sick or not.

Zhou Fang felt sad while comforting her grandma.

 Mother who has worked hard all her life is still worrying about her children when she is old. I hope God doesn’t let grandma get seriously ill!

Zhou Guoqiang gave the food he brought to Zhou Fang so that Zhou Fang could eat it while it was hot.

Zhou Guomin said: "Brother, second brother and eldest sister, it's getting late. You two should go back! I'll stay with mom tonight. Mingli, you will start school and go to work tomorrow, so you can take Yuan Yuan home with you."

 Zhou Guoqiang, Zhou Guofu and Zhou Fang all refused to leave and wanted to stay and guard.

The brothers couldn't stop arguing, but grandma spoke up: "The country is rich and strong, you two should go back first! Just let the people stay here with me tonight. Fangfang, you and Youde should go home, anyway. I don’t have anything serious. I think I can go home tomorrow. Don’t be busy here anymore.”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Guoqiang, Zhou Guofu and Zhou Fang had no choice but to obey.

Is it possible to tell the elderly that your condition is actually very serious and everyone will feel uneasy?

 Let’s keep it a secret for now!

Zhou Xiaoyun, Xiaobao and Zhou Zhiyuan all had to start school tomorrow, so they reluctantly said goodbye to their grandma and took the car back.

 Zhou Guoqiang sent Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiaobao to where they lived, and then drove a tricycle home with his elder brother Zhou Guofu. His sister Zhou Fang and her brother-in-law Wu Youde had already driven home in a tricycle.

Along the way, the two brothers were too preoccupied to talk amidst the rumbling of the car. When they got home, they went home to discuss the matter with their wives.

Shen Huafeng frowned, and her first reaction was: "The third family must pay the hospitalization fee. Let's see if the amount is shared equally among them."

Zhou Guofu said impatiently: "You just like to think about this matter. What does this rich man say now? When the brothers sit down, they will naturally discuss it."

Shen Huafeng retorted dissatisfied: "I wonder what's wrong with this matter. We should pay for the treatment of the elderly when they are sick. My attitude is the most honest. Is money a trivial matter? If the elderly are seriously ill, then money is Big deal!”

Although it sounds a bit harsh, the truth is absolutely correct. If you spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars for surgery, then money is the top priority.

When Zhou Guofu thought that this was really the case, he stopped talking and followed Shen Huafeng's chatter.

The first thing Zhao Yuzhen thought after hearing what Zhou Guoqiang said was: "Dad, if the child is hospitalized for surgery, will he need someone to take care of him every day? It's not easy for us to find free time in such a busy family!"

Zhou Guoqiang stared: "What are you talking about? What can be more important than my mother's body? You still have other things on your mind."

 At this time, we can see the difference between sons and daughters-in-law. The sons are all worried about their mother's health, but the daughters-in-law are thinking about money and care.

Zhao Yuzhen was choked by Zhou Guoqiang and became speechless, but she kept thinking in her heart.
